polyphase
Several alternating currents
Polyphase describes electrical systems that use multiple alternating currents with different phases, typically three phases offset by 120 degrees.
This design allows for more efficient power transmission and smoother motor operation than single-phase systems.
Most industrial equipment and power grids rely on polyphase electricity.
The factory upgraded to polyphase motors to handle the increased load.
